ROYAL ROOSTERS ENTERTAIN If the Royal Roosters’ entertain ment of the Owl club at the beautiful Dreamland hall last Monday evening, isn’t the most talked of event of the season there must be something wrong. Space prevents a full report of the delightful event and the regret is with the editor in not being able to tell all that should be told. A well chosen musical program preceded the dancing and all rendered their selec tions beautifully. Andrew Reed was master of ceremonies and at the close of the musical numbers introduced Dairy Peoples, president of the Owl club, who spoke for the club in ex pressing its deep appreciation of the efforts of the Royal Rooster club in honoring it so delightfully. The hall was then cleared of chairs and the foot-stirring music of Adams’ orches tra filled the large and beautifully decorated hall. Encore after encore was called for and the orchestra re peatedly responded, seemingly inca pable of fatigue. At 1 o’clock the fiance ended and every one present acknowledged himself and herself pleased beyond expression. To C. G. Garret belongs the honor of having managed the affair with such bril liancy. The expenses totaled $111 and receipts $142. CARD OF THANKS We desire to thank our friends for their kindness and sympathy during the illness and death of our beloved wife and mother. JOHN E.
